Integrin-mediated Adhesion Regulates Cell Polarity and Membrane Protrusion through the Rho Family of GTPases

Abstract: Integrin-mediated adhesion is a critical regulator of cell migration. Here we demonstrate that integrin-mediated adhesion to high fibronectin concentrations induces a stop signal for cell migration by inhibiting cell polarization and protrusion. On fibronectin, the stop signal is generated through ␣5␤1 integrin-mediated signaling to the Rho family of GTPases. Specifically, Cdc42 and Rac1 activation exhibits a biphasic dependence on fibronectin concentration that parallels optimum cell polarization and protrusi… Show more

“…For fibroblasts on coverslips in the presence of LPA or PDGF, on the other hand, blocking Rho caused cells to form extensions that were collapsed and distorted. Small G protein activation and its consequences for cell behavior have been shown to be regulated not only by growth factors but also by cell adhe- sion (Hall, 1998;Price et al, 1998;Kaibuchi et al, 1999;Ren et al, 1999;Arthur et al, 2000;del Pozo et al, 2000;Cox et al, 2001). Our findings suggest that Rho signals generated by fibroblast adhesion on planar surfaces impact cells differently from signals generated by fibroblast adhesion in the three-dimensional collagen matrices.…”

“…For example, activated Rac has been reported to decrease or increase Rho activity in different cell types (Sander et al, 1999;Zondag et al, 2000;Cox et al, 2001;Li et al, 2002). In addition, although activated Rac can lead to increased Rho activity in some cells, this newly active Rho then inhibits Rac activation, suggesting a negative feedback loop by which Rho and Rac activity are precisely regulated (Li et al, 2002).…”

“…To address the possibility that R-Ras inhibits protrusion and migration through effects on cell adhesion, we plated cells expressing activated R-Ras (38V) on various collagen concentrations. Lower ECM concentrations have been shown to enhance cell migration by reducing integrinmediated adhesion, whereas higher concentrations decrease motility (Huttenlocher et al, 1996;Palecek et al, 1997;Cox et al, 2001). However, altering collagen concentration from 0.1 to 300 g/ml could not rescue the migratory defect in R-Ras (38V)-expressing cells (Figure 1, dashed line).…”
